WELCOME BACK, FAREWELL
Bem-vindos de novo
Parents and children are reunited after 13 years apart. This is the starting point of Welcome Back, Farewell. The documentary follows the process of rebuilding affection in a Japanese descent family that is affected by the immigration flux between Brazil and Japan known as the dekassegui phenomenon. The debut feature film by Marcos Yoshi, director and a character, portrays his familyʼs immigration trajectory as it stresses the conflict between the desire to guarantee the family’s future and the impossibility to remain together. Itʼs one of thousands of stories about families torn apart by immigration as it highlights the Japanese presence in Brazil, home to the largest Japanese-descendant community in the world.
